About this deal

The EAP615-Wall (v1) uses an XMC XM25QH128A flash chip in standard SO-8 (208mil) package, with the standard pinout for that package. It’s indeed similar, but only to a certain extent because the hardware is less powerful, and the antennas have a lower gain.

Of course, both the TP-Link EAP610 and the EAP615-Wall support OFDMA, MU-MIMO and both can connect to the Omada controller. TP-Link has made the teardown process of the EAP615-Wall very simple since all I had to do is remove the two screws from the bottom and then carefully detach the top cover using a prying tool. That’s because the interference will be very different, so the attenuation remains the more solid and objective way of seeing the proper difference between the the TP-Link EAP610 and the EAP615-Wall. Ideally, you need to feed a cable through the ceiling or in our case, the wall, but the EAP610 does allow some leeway in terms of positioning, while the EAP615-Wall does not.The EAP615-Wall's higher network efficiency OFDMA and DL/UL MU-MIMO* deliver data to multiple devices simultaneously with less lag. After connecting the same AX200 client device to the TP-Link EAP615-Wall, I noticed that, while the throughput wasn’t as good at 5 feet, it did prove far more consistent up to 45 feet. The slim case will easily blend in with the wall and if it wasn’t for the single LED at the bottom, you would hardly notice its presence. The throughput had a gentle fall at 15 feet, but it did go down quite a bit after going past the 30 feet limit.

Because this device is only supported by newer versions of OpenWrt, you need to use the newer DSA-based VLAN switch_configuration if you plan to use VLANs. The Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform integrates network devices including access points, switches, and routers to provide 100% centralized cloud management and create a highly scalable network—all controlled from a single interface.Even if the attenuation was raised a bit (from -41dB to -46dB), the throughput remained almost the same at 15 feet as well, with a slight drop happening at 30 feet. Achievable range and throughput will vary depending on the regional regulations where the radio is deployed. Don’t expect to chain-connect a couple of PoE access points because the power that’s actually sent is approximately 12W, so there’s only a handful of options available. Next, I removed the four screws that held the PCB in place and, after taking out the large metallic heatsink and the aluminum cover, I could identify the dual-core 880MHz Mediatek MT7621DAT chipset and it seems that the device uses the integrated 128MB of RAM (Mediatek MT7621DAT).
